400,000.
(b) “Common Stock” shall mean
the common stock of the Company.
(c) “Exercise Period” shall

(f) “Share Number”, at any

2.1 General; Exercise of Warrant
.
(a) The rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised as a whole or in part at any time during the
Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its
address set forth above (or at such other address as it may
designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(i) An
executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
(ii) Payment
of the Exercise Price either in cash or by check; and
(b) Upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the
Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder
or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates
(and such designation is in compliance with applicable securities
laws and any stockholders, investor rights or similar agreement),
shall be issued and delivered to the Holder as promptly as
practicable after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised.
(c) The person in whose name any
certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the
holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant
was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or
certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and
payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are
closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on
which the stock transfer books are open.
(a) In lieu of paying the Exercise Price
in cash or by check as provided in Section 2.1, the Holder may
elect a “Net Issue Exercise” pursuant to which the
Holder will receive Exercise Shares equal to the value (as
determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being
exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company together with an executed Notice of Exercise in the
form attached hereto in which event the Company shall issue to the
Holder a number of Exercise Shares computed using the following
formula:
X = the number of Exercise Shares to
be issued to the Holder;
Y = the number of Exercise Shares
purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant
is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at
the date of such exercise);
A = the Fair Market Value of one
share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such
exercise); and
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted
to the date of such exercise).
(b) For purposes of the above calculation,
“Fair Market Value” shall be determined as
follows:
(i) If the Common Stock is listed on any
established stock exchange or a national market system, including,
without limitation, The Nasdaq Stock Market’s Global Select
or Global Market, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
will be the average closing sales price for such stock (or the
closing bid, if no sales are reported) as quoted on that system or
exchange (or the system or exchange with the greatest volume of
trading in Common Stock), over the five (5) trading day period
ending on the trading day immediately preceding the day the Warrant
is being exercised, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or any
other source the Company considers reliable.
(ii) If the Common Stock is quoted on The
Nasdaq Stock Market ( but not on The Nasdaq Stock Market’s
Global Select or Global Market) or is regularly quoted elsewhere by
recognized securities dealers but selling prices are not reported,
the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock will be the
average mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the
Common Stock over the five (5) trading day period ending on the
trading day immediately preceding the day the Warrant is being
exercised, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or any other
source the Company considers reliable.
(iii) If the Common Stock is not traded as
set forth above, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) If this Warrant is not exercised in
full by a Net Issue Exercise, then, the “Share Number”
in effect immediately after such partial exercise shall be
appropriately adjusted to take into account the effect of the Net
Issue Exercise.
3.

Shares . The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise
Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights

Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all
times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved, free
from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will

be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for
such purposes.
3.2 No Impairment . Except and to
the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company

action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other

previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to
the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified
